Some occurrences which support the continental drift hypothesis include the fact that the characteristics of the edges of each continent closely match with those of other surrounding continents. The continents also have an almost jigsaw fit.

The presence of the same on several continents supports the hypothesis of continental drift.?

Yes, the presence of the same organisms on multiple continents suggests that at some point in the past, those continents were connected. This supports the theory of continental drift, which explains how landmasses have moved over time. The distribution of these similar organisms across different continents provides additional evidence for this theory.

How does a rock from the seabed end up in areas with no beaches?

Possibly from continental drift or maybe glaciers transported them during the ice age. You can find sea shells in wyoming as high as the continental divide. Maybe at one time those mountains were actually below sea level and continetal drift pushed them way above sea level but left some sea life behind.
